Silver Stars' Young earns second-team honor

1 / 55

Back to Gallery

Silver Stars forward Sophia Young was named second-team All-WNBA, the league announced.

It is the fourth such honor for Young — she also made the first team in 2008 and second team in 2007 and 2009 — and the first time a Silver Stars’ player has received an all-league accolade since 2009.

The 6-foot-1 Young averaged 16.3 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.2 steals, all team highs.
